The Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain has open a call for aid through the “Participation Program in International Tenders”.
This public aid is aimed at supporting the participation of Spanish small and medium companies in overseas projects in fields of engineering and consulting and project contractors and industries, by financing part of the costs of preparation, presentation and prosecution of international tenders.
The sectors applicable to grants, are:
- Transport infrastructure, especially railways, ports and airports.
- Renewable Energies.
- Environment.
- Information Technology and Communications.
Plan B Group has the expertise of helping numerous companies in their internationalization projects, including access to finance for international expansion.
The role of science, technology and innovation in driving development cannot be overemphasized.
Scientific and technological innovations continue to impact positively on nations and on lives and spur growth in areas such as education, medicine, agriculture, communication, manufacturing etc.
We at the Center for Development and Progress (CADeP) believe that the theme must have been inspired by the recognition of what humanity has achieved with the help of science and technology and the potential of science/technology to propel humanity into uncharted developmental areas.
– Today, developing countries in Africa, Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America are harnessing the benefits of scientific and technological innovation to improve quality healthcare delivery, fight HIV/AIDS and other deadly diseases.
– In agriculture, the deployment of technology has resulted in improved farming techniques, better seeds/seedlings and improved yield.
– Many African nations have suffered one or another form of drought, but through science and technology it is now possible to farm with very little water.
– No human endeavor has been impacted by technological advancements as in Communications.
– We have seen how the MPESA is transforming lives in Kenya, making it possible for people to remit money to family members without going through the hustle akin to a regular commercial bank.
A nation without science and technology has no place in the 21st century. Every aspect of human live today revolves around science and technology. But leveraging technology for development does not happen in isolation. It requires an enabling environment production and deployment.
Moving on, governments would have to do more to bridge further the technological gap that exists between the developed and developing countries. Progress has been made particularly in mobile telephony, and clearly this is an area where developing countries are catching up fast on the developed countries. A major factor serving as a stumbling block to progress in these areas is the lack of technological know-how and financial resources.
We strongly think that endowed nations should aid the less privileged countries to help them tackle technological challenges.
As a first step towards building the capacity of developing countries in technology, there is the need to overhaul existing educational systems in developing countries. The education should be tailored towards solving the peculiar needs of individual countries with science and technology being a major thrust of education. The issue of technology transfer should be taken seriously. Investors from developed countries must be required to transfer some form of technology to the country where they invest. It is not just enough to pump money into an economy without leaving behind technology that will aid in the development of that country.
